Candy Box Cards.....Orange Border, All Star Candy, J=K, Baseball Bats etc...

I never tire of seeing that Cobb, Jeff. All things considered that one is a beauty. One of the main things that keeps me going is finding out what we don't know about our cards, there is so much. The Blanke Wenneker - Nadja connection was a big deal a few years ago. Here is another box, now if I can find J=k and Baseball Bats boxes I will be most of the way there (wherever "there" is).

IMHO, those 1911 Baseball Bats cards that have the red backgrounds and orange borders, such as this WaJo and Steve's Matty seen above, are the most striking of all the box cards.

J=K, manufactured by J. Koenisberg, NY. The boxes also advertised jewelry!

Baseball Bats and especially the Orange Border cards have always been a favorite. I really like the photo selection in the Orange Border set, and if the card includes the Orange Border, the more attractive the overall image is to me. The fact that the photos used are not encountered often in other sets is a plus, and that when one comes available to view it is like you just discovered the joy of collecting all over again. Thanks for all the picture posts so far.

Here is one of my all time favorites...thank you barely noticeable staple holes!

The Schapira Bros. cards were inserted into candy boxes, as opposed to being part of the candy box itself.

Here are a few of mine. Ive sold most of the Orange Borders in that scan but I still have the Joss.... The Cobb and J=K Wagner are amongst my very favorite cards

Brian I think that Cobb is part of an ad sheet not a box. I have a Jeffries from the same issue with back advertising for a candy co.
